China
Our visit to China was fantastic. The people were very friendly and the culture is so very different than anything I have every seen. We felt very safe and did a lot of exploring on foot in both Xi'an and Beijing.
Some highlights:
-The Great Wall is better than words can describe. I am still in awe every time I revisit it in my thoughts.
-I have never seen so much construction in a country. Even more than in Atlanta in the build up for the 1996 Olympics.
- I was inspired by the enthusiasm of the children we taught in school. Their smiles and eagerness to learn helped me through my fear of teaching.
- The 8 mile bike ride on top of the wall around Xi'an is a MUST for anyone who travels there.
- The Terra Cotta warriors were cool and abundant.
- The staff at CCS is awesome. Thanks.
- The Chinese are very efficient and their determination to learn English (as a country) and to modernize their country impressive.
